Chances are your data center is a lot more complicated (and expensive) than it has to be. Cloud computing can help simplify things, and lower your IT costs dramatically, but it feels way too risky to a lot of people. The solution? A private cloud. You get all the benefits of a public cloud with added control and flexibility. See how Novell Cloud Manager can deliver a risk-free private cloud as the cornerstone of a more intelligent infrastructure.

Take advantage of the flexibility and cost reductions virtualizing your environment brings. Remove the risk of a service impacting event and enjoy further cost reductions in management of your virtualized environment.

Many disaster recovery plans are not up to the complex task of protecting physical server workloads on multiple platforms. In a challenging economy, the business risks associated with downtime – lost revenue opportunity, customer loyalty, and productivity – are even greater. Learn how Novell’s PlateSpin Solutions leverage virtualization to provide a more flexible and cost-effective way to protect and rapidly recover both physical and virtual workloads in the today’s evolving data center.
